<div class="summary">
Elihu, in anger, answers Job and his three friends—He says: There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty gives understanding; also, Great men are not always wise.

So</span> these three men ceased to answer Job, because he <i>was</i> righteous in his own eyes.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and <i>yet</i> had condemned Job.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I <i>am</i> young, and ye <i>are</i> very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
